Gel Erase

Sometimes there is incorrect placement of gel or there is too much placed.
Another reason to remove(erase) gel is that you have evolved and would like a more natural appearance.
Dr Young can guide you on a revision of any gel placement and what are the best ways to improve your results.
The growth of this field of medicine has led to novice practitioners who have little understanding of aesthetic treatments and anatomy, some practitioners are part-time and don't fully understand the nuances of this art, and then there are the chain clinics who push package deals to boost sales, treating a patient as a number rather than a unique person.
A bespoke personalised treatment plan is what Dr Young will plan for you.

Some common terms for unnatural looks-
"duck lips"
"trout pout"
"sausage eyes"
"pillow cheeks", do you have any of these issues?
Common areas to dissolve-
Lips - excess rolls; lumps
Tear troughs- swelling, sausages, excess
Cheeks-incorrect anatomical placing, and
Chin- too much.
A common problem is the Overfilled Face Syndrome, where 5-10 mls of a gel are placed, leading to a distorted and blown-up face.
This leads to a face that moves unnaturally / unsynchronised and almost certainly creates a distorted look ( Written by Dr. Tingsong Lim).

Some areas have been treated with the wrong gel. Hence, there is puffiness, and then there are technical errors by the practitioner, with lumps or infections.

These errors are not just found in the Caucasian clinical sphere but are common in Asian clinics.

There is the possibility to reduce the excess gel, and removing all the gel is only sometimes necessary.


Possible risks and side effects-
Patients may experience bruising, swelling and some discomfort following the procedure. The primary risk associated with dissolving gel is the possibility of an allergic reaction, which is why doing a patch test before the treatment is essential. According to 2020 research, the risk of patients having an allergic reaction is generally very low (0.05%-0.69%), with fewer than 0.1% of patients experiencing any itching or swelling caused by this dissolving medication. However, the chances of patients having an allergic reaction increase with more than 100,000 IU doses, with the events growing to just over 31% for quantities of 200,000 IU.


We hardly ever use these large amounts.
New TGA guidelines in 2024, do not allow us to use various brand names or terms of medications.
